Hard to fully appreciate what Fela was about without a basic understanding of the criminality, crookedness, and cruelties of the Nigerian regime. This French documentary does a great job of putting a true artist into context. Here, Fela's spirituality, music, and politics are unpacked about well as anything I've seen (including the Fela! musical).
